A constant source OF discomfort is the drippin
of the purulent seoretions.into the throat, some.
times producing inveterate bronchitis which
in its turn has been the exciting cause of pull

THE MARKETS.
Richmond and West Point the Strong
est Stock on the List.


NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The stock market
was moderately active to-day. There was
little foreign trading, the closeness of the
two markets leaving no margin for arbi-
trago business. The coal stocks and the
southern stocks monopolized most Of the
interest in the speculation, and many
rumors In regard TO the latter were cir
culated, although the statement that Gen
Alexander was practically sure OF an cleo
tian to the presidency OF the Georgia Cen
tral railroad was the most important Item
OF news, the sentiment being that closer
relations with Richmond and West Point
would follow, and the latter, which had
been noticeably weak, became the strongest
stock on the list.
There was very little doing In the grangers
and Vanderbilte, although the latter were
helped somewhat by the Nickel Plato de-
cision late In the day. Western Uoion was
a feature, being active aud strong through
out, the improvement being accompanied
by the renewal Of rumors OF developments
favorable to the company, which have done
duty heretofore, There was an active trad
ing during the first hour, and the dealings
were accompanied by considerable feverish-
ness and irregularity, some advances being
made In the early dealings, though other
stocks were weak. The entire market

being especially noticeable for the decline

tinued, with several short reactions until
after ! p. M, when general upward move
meDt took place, which gathered force
toward the close, and the market closed
moderately active and strong, close to the
best prices reached.
The net result of the days transactions Is
that a majority Of stocks are small fractions
higher than on Friday evening, though sew
eral show fractional declines. There were
only two important advances, Jersey Cen.
